The Mighty Victoria

The year 1936. The town La Esperanza, in the Mexican desert, receives the news of the closure of the mine, its main economic motor, and the consequent cancellation of the railroad route, the only way of communication with civilization. As everyone runs away the town, Durán, the young mechanic, sees his dream of becoming a train driver frustrated and has to make a decision: cross the northern border and give up his roots and the love of his life or help a group of locals who resist with the craziest plan: build their own steam train. A tribute to mexican wit. (Guadalajara International Film Festival)
